Recognizing the signs of water damage could be crucial to stopping further damage before it gets out of control. Water leaks can come from many different sources around your home or place of business. Family or staff should know the location of the water shut off valve in case of emergency. Aside from knowing all exit routes & shut off valve location, there should also be an emergency plan in place that every person in the home or place of business is familiar with. Keeping chaos under control during these kinds of emergencies is very crucial.
